New York man accused of trying to recruit, aid ISIS militants

30 year old man, Mufid Elfgeeh, provides material support and resources to ISIS, a foreign terrorist organization to the U.S. He is a naturalized citizen and was born in Yemen. This New York man has been buying hand guns and paying for the ISIS travel to recruit them. he was arrested in this past May after taking delivery of two handguns and ammunition. The FBI created an investigation including linking his twitter account that was expressing support for Al Qaeda, violent holy war, and Sunni insurgent groups in Syria. Elfgeeh is also charged with attempt of trying to kill officers and employees of the United States, unregistered firearm silencer, and the possession of a firearm in a violent crime.

Elfgeeh was one of the first citizens accused of recruiting on behalf of ISIS. He is an immigrant and is naturalized as a U.S. citizen. The FBI created and investigation and is looking for other foreigners involved in helping in ISIS. This is a little unfair because they are accusing other foreigners of Elfgeeh's race and ethnicity since the ISIS is a foreign terrorist organization. The rights are being taken away to ensure safety so the ISIS can't put their plans into action. FBI is breaking up their plan. Elfgeeh was under surveillance for over a year. That is taking away his privacy even though it is to keep the safety of the United States.
